Hemispheric Specialization And The Processing Of Stroop Color-Word Stimuli, Joel Patrick Newman

Theses and Dissertations

The present investigation examined neuropsychological hypothesis of Stroop color-word interference. It was hypothesized that the combination of verbal and color content in one stimulus provided an opportunity to examine relative left- and right-hemisphere contributions to cognition in neurologically-intact subjects. Several individual difference variables of lateral brain function, including characteriological or trait anxiety and situation-specific arousal, were chosen as independent variables. Additionally, visual field of presentation and hand of response were systematically varied.Subjects consisted of neurologically intact psychiatric inpatients, professional hospital staff, undergraduate students, and members of the community as a whole. They received discretely projected Stroop color-word stimuli in the …

Petrology, Geochemistry And Economic Geology Of Selected Gold Claims In Rocks Of The Wasekwan Lake Area, Lynn Lake District, Manitoba, Canada, Douglas Scott Kenaley

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to map and study, both at regional and detailed scales, the units encountered within seven gold claims that were staked by Sherritt-Gordon Mines Limited of Lynn Lake, Manitoba. The claims are located in the wasekwan Lake area, approximately 12. 8 km southeast of Lynn Lake. Regional mapping was conducted at a scale of 1:12000 over a 6.4 km2 area and detailed mapping of potentially economic areas was conducted at a scale of 1:240. Whole-rock geochemistry, microprobe, optical and X-ray diffraction procedures were employed to describe and characterize the rocks. The Aphebian rock units of …

Paleocene Coal-Bearing Sediments Of The Williston Basin, North Dakota : An Interaction Between Fluvial Systems And An Intracratonic Basin, Laramie M. Winczewski

Theses and Dissertations

Outcrop and test hole data for 225 sites in a 33,700-km² area of southwestern North Dakota were examined. Seven sedimentation intervals were identified for the Paleocene Bullion Creek and Sentinel Butte Formations. The intervals extend from the top of the Harmon coal (lower Bullion Creek) to the top of the Twin Buttes coal (upper Sentinel Butte). Each interval consists of medium and fine elastics underlying a persistent lignite coal, or some other lithology at the stratigraphic position of the coal. Clastics are finer-grained upwards within intervals and within both formations to the upper Sentinel Butte.

Sand-rich zones align northwest-southeast, …

Steam Drying Of Lignite, Sunil V. Sapatnekar

Theses and Dissertations

North Dakota lignite, (,-lV x 1") in size and having 35 percent initial moisture content, was steam dried by the Fleissner process at elevated temperatures and pressures. The reduction in moisture content of lignite was investigated as a function of the residence time and the drying temperature. The residence time was varied from 10 to 30 minutes and the drying temperature from 220° to 270°C.

It was determined that decrease in moisture content was independent of drying times longer than 20 minutes and drying temperatures below 250°C. The reduction in moisture content increased at higher temperatures. It varied from 45 …

A Finite Element Computer Model Of The Captive Column, Craig P. Kipp

Theses and Dissertations

This report describes the computerized mathematical modeling of a composite structural assemblage referred to as a "captive column". The captive column is a potentially useful structural member (beam, column, or torsion member) which exhibits a high strength-to-weight ratio. The captive column consists of three basic components: a lightweight core section, the principal load bearing elements referred to as caps, and a filamentous wrap, helically wound around the other two members. Together the three elements act as an integral unit and can be constructed in mul- tigeometrical cross sections and diverse lengths.

A linearly elastic finite element computer model was developed …

Crisis Marketing: The Mcdonnell Douglas Dc-10, Scott F. March

Theses and Dissertations

The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft has been plagued by a series of problems throughout its history that has shaken customer confidence and resulted in many cancelled orders. Since the DC-10 represents a large portion of the corporation's revenue, it is essential that the firm continue to sell the aircraft near previously projected rates. This has created a case of crisis marketing for the company.

This study will use the DC-10 case to present a general crisis marketing model. This model will be a step-by-step framework that can be applied to most crisis marketing situations.

By using this model and seeing …

Treatability Of Aqueous Gasifier Effluent Using Solvent Extraction, Michael D. Mann

Theses and Dissertations

The treatability of aqueous gasifier effluent to reduce the content of soluble organics using solvent extraction as the principal treatment step was investigated. The aqueous gasifier effluent was collected from the spray washer of the Grand Forks Energy Technology Center's slagging fixed-bed gasifier during run RA176.

Raw gasifier effluent is treatable using solvent extraction with n-butyl acetate and isopropyl ether as solvents. A total capital investment of approximately $5,494,800 can be expected for a treatment facility using n-butyl acetate as the extracting solvent, capable of purifying wastewater from a slagging gasifier plant with a large enough capacity to produce 250 …

Physical Changes Of Lignite Upon Treatment With Phenol, Philip F. Richmond

Theses and Dissertations

North Dakota lignite was made to swell with phenol and phenol- water solutions. Preliminary data were used to design a reactor (treater) of approximately 500 gram capacity. Twenty-nine runs were made using this treater with phenol concentrations from 0 to 100 percent phenol. The lignite was treated undried and of sizes from 0.065 to O.263 inches. Temperatures of treatment ranged from 69 to 106 degrees C. with run lengths from 3*2 to 10.4 hours.

The degree of swelling was evaluated by measuring the lignite before and after treatment in the following wayst height in the treater, volume, weight and particle …

A Kinetic Model For Ion Exchange Of Sodium From Lignite Using Sulfuric Acid, David Peterson

Theses and Dissertations

The removal of sodium from lignite by ion exchange techniques was studied using hydrogen ions from sulfuric acid. The exchange of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and aluminum from lignite was also observed. A measured amount of lignite and sulfuric acid solution was contacted in a beaker and stirred for a given period of time. The lignite and solution were then separated and analyzed to determine the extent of ion exchange. The lignite used contained 9.5 percent sodium oxide in the ash.

Five parameters were studied to determine their effect upon the exchange rate. These were initial H2S°4 concentrati°n / lignite particle …

"The Church And Colonel Saunders": Mormon Standard Plan Architecture, Martha Sonntag Bradley

Theses and Dissertations

In the years 1920-80 the Mormon Church developed, expanded and refined an architectural program based on the concept of the standard plan. Standard plan buildings were selected, individualized and built for local ward units under the direction of the Church Building Department which created uniform standards of quality and appearance across the worldwide Church and created a tangible link between foreign members and the central Church.

Although functional and financial considerations directed virtually all design decisions and formed the operative basis of the program other elements also determined the nature of the Mormon approach to building. Growth, in the membership, …

Lds Church Educational Objectives And Motivational Influences For Seminary Attendance: A Comparative Analysis, Linda Brockbank

Theses and Dissertations

This study addressed itself to identifying dominant motivational influences prompting seminary attendance of ninth and eleventh grade students living along the Wasatch Front in the state of Utah and to determine if these motivational influences were related to stated objectives of the LDS seminary program. The sample consisted of twelve randomly selected cluster groups of seminary classes from the Ogden, Salt Lake City, and Provo-Orem areas. Factors relative to stated objectives and to entertainment were incorporated in the survey questionnaire, Survey of Attendance Rationale, used for data collection. Data were collected in February 1981 and submitted to factor analysis, …
